You already messed up. There is no "local repo" in Subversion. When you do
a checkout, you have a *working copy*. Calling it a repository tells me
you've never read even the introductory "getting started" or "basic usage"
guides readily available on the Internet for Subversion. Stop right now and
read at least a couple chapters of the "svn book":

When you do a checkout, SVN does NOT attempt to recreate the repository in
its entirety on your computer. SVN takes only the folder you checkout, and
copies it to whatever directory you tell it to.

You have no data corruption, you have a directory nested inside another
directory. Move it to where it needs to go.
YOU the user have full control of where each checkout goes. If you wanted
you could name your working copy directory
ThisIsAProjectCalledBAndIDoNotWantAShortName instead of B, and place it in
C:\Users\MyUsername\SVN\Working_Copies. SVN will still associate that
project with the "b" project in your repository even if it's named oddly on
your machine or placed wildly separated from the "a" project. You could
checkout some subdirectory of a or b, without checking out the entire
project.
Learn the basics of the tools you're using, and you'll be a lot happier.
